This statistic jumps to 88 percent when looking at C-level executives exclusively.” Mr. Limberakis also points out that “Best-in-Class organizations (top-performing enterprises measured on a series of distinct key performance indicators) capture 96% of their spend in spend analysis systems and are two-thirds more likely than their peers to have standardized procedures for data extraction, cleansing, classification, and reporting. This increased focus on spend analysis initiatives provides better visibility to drive procurement performance, such the ability to identify 80% more cost avoidance savings than their peers.”
